Heavy Duty Reciprocating Saw
A reciprocating saw is a device where the cutting action occurs by the constant push-and-pull reciprocating motion of a blade.
This is a valuable tool because it makes the work much easier by allowing you to get the perfect cut with much less effort. Depending on the blade type, reciprocating saws can be used for fine crafting work as well as heavy duty metal work.
It's Amp value determines the power of a best reciprocating saw for the money. 5-6 Amp saws are suited for small home improvement projects while 10-15 Amp saws are much suited for heavy-duty work. Some of the principal heavy duty reciprocating saw brands are Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Black & Decker and Porter-Cable. Few of the leading heavy-duty saws are Porter-Cable 9759 Tiger Saw, Milwaukee 6523-21 Super Sawzall, and DeWalt DW304PK.
Since there are several makes and models possible, when selecting a large reciprocating saw there are few factors you should consider. These are power, blades, grip, speed levels, blade motion, and balance. Some devices even come with the feature of tool-less blade change which helps to change blades in seconds conveniently. Some reciprocating saws offer only back-and-forth motion of the blade while other models offer both back-and-forths along with up-and-down movement which makes the tip of the blade to move in an elliptical motion. If the heavy duty reciprocating saw is used for long hours, be conscious about the grip and the weight of the device.
The heavy duty reciprocating saws support multiple blade types. These different modules are designed for optimal use with wood, metal, plastic, pruning, etc. Most models offer variable speed change which assists in using the device for small scale fine crafting and rough and heavy duty work.
These power saws come in both corded and cordless models. Cordless reciprocating saws will make it much easier to work on small scale and to craft projects. But sometimes, when using for heavy duty work for extended periods of time, it may be convenient to use a corded model.
As with any other power tool, when using a heavy duty saw make sure to wear necessary protective equipment. Use goggles, leather gloves, and hearing protection if using the device for long periods.
